Director Liu took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke one, but Li Qinghe raised his hand to stop him. He put his hand in his pocket mysteriously and said, "Don't, try this one."
Then he took out a box of cigars and said, "Want to try?"
Director Liu's eyes lit up, and he took it and smelled it, "This is foreign product, right? The packaging looks high-end. What brand is it?"
Although cigars were produced in the country during this period, they were all exported to earn foreign exchange and were rarely seen.
After all, they are too poor and have to spend every penny carefully. How can they have any extra to sell domestically? Moreover, they are all low-end products and are sold cheaply, so they have to be exported urgently.
Therefore, it is very rare and difficult to buy. Those who can smoke cigars all have a certain background. Foreign cigars like this are mostly used as gifts, which are very face-saving.
Without certain connections, getting cigars from abroad is only a dream.
"It seems to be a king or something, I'm not sure."
Li Qinghe just made it up. Of course he knew what brand it was, but since he didn't expect to use it to show anything, there was no need to explain it clearly.
Director Liu didn't ask any more questions. He turned the cigar around and sniffed it hard. "Hmm, it's a good thing. It smells good."
Li Qinghe's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart: "Come on, you don't smoke often, and you haven't seen cigars very often, let alone smoking. Without comparison, how do you know whether this thing is good or not?"
In fact, Li Qinghe himself didn't know much about it. He had never smoked it in his past or present life, so he was not very interested in it.
"Maybe. They're all used for smoking anyway. I don't understand."
As he spoke, Li Qinghe lit up the cigar and took a puff. "Brother Liu, don't smell it. You'll know whether it's good or not after you smoke it."
Normally, Li Qinghe would not take out his cigar. After all, it was too high-profile. Others held cigarettes in their mouths, but you held a gun barrel in your hand, which was too conspicuous.
The inland is not a port city. I wonder what people would think if they saw me smoking a cigar.
Director Liu looked at the cigar and said in a dilemma, "Forget it. I don't even smoke much. It's a waste to smoke a cigar."
He was reluctant to do so. Cigars were not cheap. One cigarette might cost him several days' salary.
Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Brother Liu, cigarettes are meant to be smoked. There's no point wasting them. Don't worry, I brought back a lot from Hong Kong City."
As he spoke, he reached into his other pocket and took out two boxes, five sticks in each box, exactly ten sticks.
"Now, don't tell me your brother doesn't miss you."
Looking at the two boxes of cigars printed with English, Director Liu's mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
"Brother, you are so nice. I won't be polite to you."
He grabbed the thing and, imitating Li Qinghe, opened the cigar butt and started to heat it with a lighter.
If it was just one or two, he wouldn't be willing to give it up, but two boxes is different, he has to try them no matter what.
And you can give it as a gift to others, but many people like this foreign thing.
After taking a puff, Director Liu exhaled thick smoke and nodded, "It's really good. It's much more fragrant than the cigarettes I usually smoke."
Li Qinghe asked, "Brother Liu, do we need supplies for the canteen? When will we receive the goods?"
The steel mill didn't ask for grain, but instead sent meat. Now there are mountains of rice and flour in the space, and they need to be shipped urgently.
"Wait a few more days until everything is settled."
Until the last step, accidents will happen eventually, and Director Liu obviously doesn't want any accidents to happen.
The closer you are to success, the more careful you should be, otherwise all your efforts may be wasted.
"Okay, just let me know when you need me. By the way, can Ma Jinbiao handle the factory's circuits?"
It has been a long time since I last left, and Li Qinghe has a very good impression of Ma Jinbiao, who is very discerning.
"Not bad." Director Liu smiled. "Although his skills are not as good as yours, he is just a little slower in handling things. He can handle all the problems. During the time you were not here, he asked me several times why you didn't come. He also said that if you didn't come, he would like to get your address and visit you."
"Haha, this guy has some conscience." Li Qinghe smiled more.
Although he didn't care about any reward, he taught others sincerely without keeping anything to himself. If the other party could remember his kindness, they would feel more comfortable.
If the other person is an ungrateful person, I won’t be angry, but I will be really unhappy.
"By the way, Brother Liu, I have something to trouble you with."
"It's no trouble, just tell me. As long as it can be done, I'll assign it to you."
Director Liu liked Li Qinghe the most when he bothered him. It was a favor and it could deepen the relationship between the two sides. He was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.
Li Qinghe organized his words and said, "It's like this. A child of my country relative wants me to help him find a job in the city. After thinking about it for a while, I didn't know who to ask, and I thought of you, Brother Liu. Do you think it's convenient for you to work in the factory?"
When asking for help, you can't just grab everyone you want. We've got one person over from Deputy Director Li, and if we need more people, we'll have to ask Director Liu.
"This is easy to handle."
Director Liu agreed immediately and then asked, "How is the relationship?"
"Just arrange something easier for me." Li Qinghe did not give a direct answer, but grinned.
Director Liu understood, thought about it, and slapped his head, "Oh, how could I forget that the purchasing department is still short of an auditor, and this is a coincidence."
"Okay, I got it. She should be here in the next two days. How about you give her a certificate and I'll have her report directly to the HR department."
Li Qinghe had already established a good relationship with Director Liu, so he was not polite at all when speaking.
